7Palace of Versailles (Versailles, France)
The Palace of Versailles is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of French royalty during the reign of Louis XIV. Located just outside Paris, Versailles was transformed from a modest hunting lodge into one of the most magnificent palaces in the world. The Hall of Mirrors, with its grand chandeliers and glittering mirrors reflecting sunlight from the palace’s gardens, is one of the most iconic rooms in the palace. The extensive gardens, fountains, and sculptures that surround the palace add to its beauty and make it a UNESCO World Heritage site.
